Agreed on the later code freeze, and I definitely think next summer is not unreasonable. Coming from an in-house shop with large installations who are struggling to get a D6 upgrade still in the works almost solely because D5 might not be supported (okay the cooler features of the framework are a huge incentive to the devs) it's slightly intimidating to think that there already be a code freeze on the next version of Drupa when we *might* have D6 upgrades done by the end of October. Many modules have still not caught up (mine being some of them) making it very hard to get full platforms up to speed with D6. So yes, many reasons from an in-house perspective to have longer development periods. +3 (taking into account my colleages aren't on this list but feel the same).<br>

Here's another confirmation of that seemingly unified sentiment. It seems to me nobody has had enough time to *really* start working with D6. I also still have to port several relatively popular modules, and for me too, they are a higher priority than contributing to D7. So, I'm also for a delay of the code freeze.<br>

Just to confirm what seems like an overwhelmingly unified sentiment: a later D7 seems like a good thing. We started a bunch of work on the search system at the search sprint in Minnesota and I'd really like to see the bulk of it get finished. Yet I'm still sitting on relatively popular modules that I have to upgrade to D6 and I can't help but think that they are a bigger priority for me at the moment. Delaying the date of the code freeze just seems like the right thing.<br>
